An armed student in Moscow entered School No 263, on northern outskirts of the city, and shot two adults while taking 20 other students as hostages. The school's security guard stated that he couldn't keep Sergei out, who was armed with two rifles, but did manage to sound an alarm. The suspect was arrested only after he shot and killed one police officer and teacher, and injuring another officer, and was coaxed out by his father. Investigators believe the student was Sergei Gordeyev, who is described as an excellent student but seemed to have a mental breakdown. No hostages were injured in this incident, though he had left an impression on the country. Russian President Putin had described the incident as tragic. Moscow's mayor is looking for a way to step up school security. According to BBC's Steve Rosenberg school shootings in Russia are quite rare.
